    Duterte signs Universal Health Care law

    Bravo to President Duterte for enacting universal health care in the Philippines!!

    Speaking to members of the Philippines' House of Representatives after signing the bill, Duterte said, "By automatically installing our citizens into the National Health Insurance Program and expanding health coverage to include free medical consultations and laboratory tests, the Universal health care law that I signed today will guarantee equatable access to quality and affordable healthcare services for all Filipinos."

    Under the Universal Health Care Law, all Filipinos will be automatically enrolled in the proposed National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) either as direct or indirect contributors.

    Direct contributors are defined as those who can pay health premiums while indirect contributors are those sponsored such as senior citizens. The law also expands Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) coverage to include free consultation tests and other diagnostic services.

    Congressman and Deputy House Majority Leader Ron Salo explained, "As long as you are a Filipino, you are covered. Even if you are jobless, you are covered. Because under the Universal Health Care law, every Filipino is covered by PhilHealth. That is what is historic in this law."

    He added, "Peace of mind. That is the government’s gift, particularly the President and Congress, to all Filipinos."

    Every Filipino is covered by the police department, the fire department etc. And now health care. But to what extent and how much does that cost society ? I wish the police here in Oslo would investigate every case of burglarly exhaustively.
